How Implants Affect Breastfeeding

LilSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 09:00:14 -0700

Fake boobs don't always hinder breastfeeding. Seventy-seven percent of LilSugar readers said they'd consider a Mommy Makeover - a breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction - if money were no object, but plenty of women undergo a lil nip and tuck before they bear children.

Former Playmate Kendra Wilkinson and reality show star Kourtney Kardashian recently revealed that they hoped to breastfeed once they give birth. Well known for her purchased assets, Pamela Anderson said she nursed both her boys. To learn more about whether or not implants affect a mom's ability to feed her offspring, we spoke with Dr. Robert Zubowski.

On whether or not the placement of implants affects breastfeeding. "The breast implant is typically placed in a submuscular pocket which separates the implant from the breast tissue. Augmentation in a subglandular position or any position directly below the breast tissue can be done safely without affecting the ability to breastfeed."
On incision placement affecting nursing. "Incision placement can make a difference with regard to breastfeeding. Incisions placed in the crease of the breast or in the armpit do not interfere with the gland or the ducts and therefore will not affect breast-feeding. Incisions placed in the lower half of the areola require that some dissection occur through the breast tissue and by consequence through the ductal tissue. Therefore in some cases especially if there is very little breast tissue, this may affect the ability to breastfeed."
On whether or not choosing silicone or saline matters. "The type of implant whether saline or silicone does not matter. Also studies have shown that there is no risk to the baby with regard to breastfeeding whether saline or silicone implants are used."
On engorgement's effects on implants. "Engorgement and pumping of the breast is not effected in any way in those women who have had breast augmentation."

Pamela Anderson: Celebmamas Role Model?

While she may be a self–proclaimed exhibitionist, Pamela Anderson is keeping her family affairs under wraps. The mother of two says her new E! reality show, Pam: Girl on the Loose, will focus on just her. Responsible for recording portions of the series herself, the Baywatch vet insisted her boys not be included in the filming. She said:

I do it while they're at school and at camp. . . There's no cameras in my house. When there's cameras in my house, they're not there.

I may not be Pammy's number one fan, but unlike many other Tinseltown mommies, I applaud her for shielding her sons from the lens caps. Are you impressed by her wish to keep her children's lives private?

Did You Flaunt It While You Had It?

After giving birth to her baby boy Max, Christina Aguilera wasn't afraid to show off her new boobmongous assets.

At her DVD signing in Los Angeles, she looked more like Pamela Anderson than the songstress we know and love!

Most new mamas are well endowed, especially if breastfeeding.

When you received your new "gifts," did you put them on display?

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Milk Shower

babysugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:37:29 -0800

The pregnancy books tell you that your breasts will get engorged (HUGE) right after you give birth as your milk is coming in. It makes a flat chest look like heaven. While it's fun to look like Pamela Anderson for a second or two, what comes after is so not sexy.

When I got home from the hospital with our new bundle of love, I couldn't wait to get in my own shower, put on my new fluffy robe and enjoy my first week of motherhood. I had been cautious not to take hot showers when I was pregnant because I was convinced it would hurt the baby.

So, I jumped in the scalding hot shower and to my surprise, milk sprayed. It was like Water Works for babies. Oh, how I wished I had bottles to capture the liquid gold that escaped. I felt a little weirded out by my body, but at least I was clean. Only when I made it down the hall, did I realize I was drenched in milk, again!

I quickly learned that warm water and physical contact with the nipple stimulates the "let down" reflex. For the next 8 months, I lived with nursing pads in my bra and wore one to bed until I finally weaned my baby.

Why didn't anybody tell me that I was going to spray milk, wear nursing pads non-stop, and become a prisoner to a bra? At least I'll know what to expect next time!
